Good idea Manu,

 

If this thing does get off the ground, you can take me as Dummy#2.

Hello,

 

I really feel frustated when I see about 40000 messages in the this

mailing list and compare it with my current knowledge about the

field. I tried reading the list from Mail #1 and tried extracting

important information but due to the nature of the list, the

information is ofcourse disorganised. I know everything I need is

here and but I can't assimilate it and that increases my anguish.

 

I read a few books like "Learn astrology the easy way" by Dr. Gauri

All are nice books but at the end I still feel that something is

missing. I wonder if other books shall introduce a method of study

besides providing the theoretical knowledge. How to become an

astrologer?

Hi Deepak,

 

Thanks for joining in. With you coming in, I guess we are already off

the ground.

 

I have created a folder named 'Dummies_Group' in the files section on

this mailing list that will hold the analysis files for the

horoscopes along with other dummies group related files.

 

Let's have the discussion starting on first week of december. By then

I hope we can get some more colleagues to join in.

 

My only concern is that there should not a vast difference in the

present knowledge. If the members start talking about special lagnas

right from the start, I would again feel misplaced. Then we would

have to create a "Brighter than dummies" group or "Dummer than

dummies" group as the case may be. :)

 

Anyways, let's see how it turns out.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Manu

Manu,

 

"First week of December" did I hear you say ?

 

Looks like I got caught in a time warp or something.

 

Its almost the last week of December where I am !

 

I've heard about International datelines but I seem to be on the wrong

side of the Weekline ;-)

Hi Manu, just so you know, the files section is pretty much used up,

so you wouldn't be able to archive any charts with the readings

there. Angie

I'd like to ecourage you to study- but I doubt 'DummiesG' will help- for

knowledge to grow we need those things /books, people/who know more than we

do..

 

Do not be intimidated by quantity of the mails, more recent ones- it's just

that-quantity. You've gotten the books, and go to the first year of the List-

more quality and valuable info is there. I strongly suggest that. Search other

sites, and you'll all be fine.

And ask Qs of course!

 

We all have been on the beginning, and still are in certain areas- so, no need

to exagerate the problem- Jyotish IS the science of Light, and will reward you,

on its OWN, for understanding you'll be getting piece-by-piece. It's an exciting

journey, and huge body of knowledge, and ongoing study and meditation- once you

get 'hooked', somebody said, it will become a life long affair- Great one,

indeed!

 

Good Luck,

Anna

om namo näräyaëäya|Dear Manu,

If you rally wan to become an Astrologer,then 1st you have to go to a competent

Guru and fix a Muhurta for starting learning of Jyotish and then start learning

on that fixed Muhurta.Buy the basic books like Astrology for Beginners by

Dr.B.V.Raman,Fundamentals of Astrology by M.R.Bhat,Brihat Parashara Hora

Shastra,Brihat Jataka, Jataka Parijata etc.Then you can buy books like Crux of

Vedic Astrology by Shri Sanjay Ji,Vedic Astrology-an Integrated Approach by Shri

P.V.R.Narasimha Ji,Prashna Margam,Jaimini Sutras etc.

Daily morning you have to worship Nava Grahas,your Ishta Devatha,Guru Devatha

etc. and then learn with concentration.Check the archives of VA list,Achuta

Gurukul etc. and learn with full concentration.

Dont tell lies to anybody,respect your elders, parents and be vegetarian ie.,

consume Sattwic food,try to be in happy mood always,dont talk with harsh words

to anybody etc.

I hope this helps you.

What the books on normally astrology normally tell us is what not to expect from

astrology and how a learner should handle his/her frsutrations in learning the

ok ok Deepak. Don't exaggerate my mistakes! :) I meant the first week

of January.

 

Some members are already viewing this idea with doubts. However, I

still feel that we go ahead and try it once. What do you say? Let's

see if it works or not. We can ofcourse simultaneously read all the

various books and follow a disciplined life. At least we shall be

able to say that we tried it.

 

The files section being filled up is really a problem. I wonder what

would be the best way to archive what we want to archive so we can

share the stuff? Any ideas?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Manu
